You can ship any box or envelope with Priority Mail
Priority Mail is the shipping service that USPS advertises the most, and you’ve probably seen the ads for Priority Mail Flat Rate® with the tagline, “If it fits, it ships.”
But because of those commercials, a common misunderstanding is that you have to use a special USPS-branded box. It’s not true!
You can use any type of packaging to ship with Priority Mail and it’s usually much cheaper than using a Flat Rate package.

A “secret” service that’s only available through the Commercial Pricing that Pirate Ship offers, Priority Mail Cubic is the best way to ship small but heavy packages.
Is your package too big to qualify for Cubic rates? Bummer! But you can still get incredible shipping rates with weight-based Priority Mail... just watch out for Dimensional Weight pricing if your box is large!
Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelopes and the Small Flat Rate Box are incredible deals, but otherwise it's always cheaper to ditch the free packaging and use your own packaging instead of paying a premium.
Get USPS Priority Mail shipping rates that are cheaper than Commercial Pricing
